Online on facebook (which by the way Denali was in HQ the other day and saw Zuckerberg) anyway...we are discussing the F word. It is so telling because one of my brightest friends thought another friend was asking what I thought of the F word the curse word, well her knowing me since we were babies was a bit shocked because I don't use that word...anyway...the F word being Fat. For about five comments back and forth noone used the F word...fat that is. I told a story of a man who met Willis and I and was so excited to meet us (new place and all) He proudly said, "I am so and so, and I will be marrying the petite sister in less than a week...." I stopped listening. For weeks after and even now I wonder how he would have described me to the new people....
Option 1: I am marrying the girl, you know, the new Black sister, she wears hippy type clothing..
Option 2: I am getting married, to, uh the heavy set sister
Option 3: I get married next week, to the, well do you know her she is plus sized...
Option 4: I am getting married to the fat sister
Option 5: I am marrying Amy
Option 6: ....forget it I don't marry fat people.
my goodness this girl has a name, and I know her now and I could have put together who she was...he said petite...help me out what should I think?
I think people are worried about what other people think.. the way they are viewed if they marry "the plus sized" sister... or maybe he was worried how you would react or will would react to the "s" Word... I have a Skinny friend, but I don't go around saying.. "This is my Skinny Friend".. I say "This is Candy"... I don't know, I can go on and on about this....
